一、什么是快速上诉试点项目?

在快速上诉试点项目框架下,上诉人可申请其单方上诉案件获得优先排期审理。上诉人仅需提交快速审理请求书,申请对己方单方上诉案件启动快速审理,并缴纳 452 美元请求官费。

专利审判及上诉委员会(PTAB,下称委员会)设定审理时限目标:自快速审理请求获准、单方上诉案件纳入试点项目之日起,四个月内作出裁决。

快速上诉试点项目于 2020 年 7 月 2 日正式生效,经多次延期后,现行有效期至 2028 年 5 月 6 日。

二、适用资格条件

申请快速审理资格须同时满足以下四项条件:

申请类型:仅限原始实用专利、外观设计专利、植物专利非临时专利申请。

上诉状态:申请快速审理的案件须为单方上诉案件,且已提交上诉通知书、美国专利商标局已出具PTAB 立案通知书(即上诉案件已由专利审判及上诉委员会待审在案)。

请求提交:上诉人须依据《联邦专利规章》37 CFR 41.3 条款,通过美国专利商标局电子提交系统递交请求书,分别以申请号、上诉案号列明拟申请快速审理的专利申请及上诉案件信息。

文书格式:须使用《快速上诉试点项目请求书》(官方表格 PTO/SB/451)。

官费缴纳:上诉人须依据《联邦专利规章》37 CFR 41.20 (a) 条款,随请求书一并缴纳 452 美元官费。

官费标准详见美国专利商标局官费价目表。

三、裁决周期

委员会明确时限目标:自快速审理请求获准之日起四个月内出具裁决。

自 2020 年 7 月项目启动至 2026 年 4 月 30 日,专利审判及上诉委员会已审结 596 件快速上诉案件,自请求获准起平均审结周期约 3 个月。

四、获准请求额度限制

在快速上诉试点项目存续期内(有效期至 2028 年 5 月 6 日),美国专利商标局设定每季度获准请求上限为 125 件。
